You mean landlords specifically or just non workers like, oh I don't know, pensioners?

 

I don't believe that pensioners should have to live off savings.  They should get a pension from the state (or better, from their employers) that allows them to live in dignity.

But the pension is paid for by assets in the fund so same same...  Still not seeing the point of your original post.

Rentiers like investors or, oh I don't know, Traders?

A rentier, you know, someone who lives off high interest rates or landed property.  They extract money by virtue of having money, and prevent money being used for productive things.

Sounds like the Fed... 😝

Although your use of the phrase High interest rates is pejorative, surely it is just interest...  Been the case since the dawn of money anyway, high or not, so what are you advocating exactly?

Free and easy money.  The worst thing is people having nothing to do, buildings being empty, machinery unused, and everyone feeling miserable.

On that at least we can agree.  And the new economy titans in the shape of Suckerberg (sic) thinks paying everyone basic is a good idea...  Just so he can hold on to his!

So UK wages are back at pre "crisis" (ha they will run out of superlatives for the coming storm!) levels.  And yet retail is struggling and no one can afford to buy a home.  HSBC are the latest mega firm to announce job cuts, I wonder if it has anything to do with rising wages...  Of just the fact that banks can't make any money within a ZIRP/NIRP environment...  Coronavirus is the blame du jour for missing targets and while the world is going to hell in a handcart a property firm is telling it's staff that they cannot expense meat in meals.  Never mind the meek inheriting the Earth now it is the vegans..  "Head of values team"?  No wonder these firms can't make any profit!  The world has officially gone mad, sell everything!

The pain and suffering could be just starting for millions of people.

Although key sectors such as housing have begun to show signs of a rebound, analysts have warned that the mini-boom could go bust once the government’s jobs subsidy programme closes in less than three months’ time and a tax cut expires at the end of March.

    • Ethereum (ETH) has seen some significant price fluctuations lately. With a slight gain of 0.3% at press time, ETH is trading at $2,446. Investors and traders are now focusing on the ETH price prediction as market conditions remain volatile. Let's break down the key factors affecting Ethereum’s price action and what to watch for in the coming days. Recent Price Movements Ethereum’s intraday low was $2,400.51, and its high reached $2,470.91. Recent outflows of $8.19 million from Ethereum ETFs (as of October 8) are adding to the pressure. Whale Alert has reported large ETH dumps to Coinbase, increasing selling pressure. Ethereum’s current market cap stands at $294.32 billion. Facing Resistance Ethereum’s price was rejected at a key resistance level of $2,461 on Monday. This resistance zone aligns with: 50% price retracement at $2,487. The 50-day EMA around $2,546. As of Wednesday, ETH is trading slightly above $2,400 and is again approaching this crucial resistance level. What Happens If Resistance Holds? If Ethereum fails to break the $2,461 resistance, we could see a 12% decline from its current level, possibly retesting the September 6 low of $2,155. The RSI is currently at 46, signaling weakness and a continuation of the downward trend. Potential Upside If ETH breaks through the $2,461 resistance and closes above the 50-day EMA at $2,546, there is potential for further upward movement. In this scenario: ETH could rise to retest its August 25 high of $2,820. Key Support Levels to Watch Should Ethereum fail to clear the resistance and start declining, here are the support levels to monitor: Initial support sits near $2,420. Major support is found at $2,390, which also aligns with the 61.8% Fib retracement level (from the $2,310 swing low to the $2,519 high). A move below $2,390 could push prices toward $2,325. Further losses may send ETH down to $2,240. The next critical support level is at $2,120. Ethereum's price is in a tight spot, with both upside and downside possibilities. A breakout above $2,461 could spark a rally, while failing to break resistance may trigger a decline toward lower support levels. Keep an eye on these key levels as the next few days will be crucial for determining ETH’s price direction
